Harriette Cole: I want this manager to hurry up and poach me ...Middle East

DEAR HARRIETTE: A manager within my firm told me a few weeks ago that she wants me to come work for her full-time.

I have been temporarily supporting her because she recently lost her executive assistant, and we work together well. This switch could have me working in the human resources department, which I have been trying to transition into.

My current manager is not aware of this potential full-time switch, though, which makes this a delicate situation.

I haven’t seen much progress toward my permanent switch to the new team since the first few conversations I had with that manager. Should I bring it up again? Or would that put me in an awkward position with my current manager?

— Being Poached

DEAR BEING POACHED: Since you have been working for this other manager temporarily, it suggests that your manager is aware of the relationship.

You can reach out to the human resources manager to find out the status of the offer. Let that manager know you are interested, but out of respect for your current boss, you would want to talk to them about it before making a move.

Know that your current manager may already be aware of the interest, so be careful. Do your job well. If possible, talk to your boss about your future and what interests you. See if there is room for growth where you are as you listen to see what may be available in another area.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I live in the city, and stray cats are a dime a dozen.

Recently, a pregnant stray was lurking around my backyard. I figured she just wanted somewhere safe to rest, but apparently she was scouting for a place to give birth! After seeing her around for a few days straight, I discovered three newborn kittens in my shed.

It was amazing. Then a day went past, and the mom didn’t return. I was worried about how they’d eat and if they’d survive, but a day or so later, she returned for them.

There are a lot of strays in my neighborhood. What is the best thing to do if I come across young stray kittens in the future?

— Stray Cats

DEAR STRAY CATS: It sounds like finding the cats on your property made you smile rather than cringe. That said, you need to decide what relationship you want to have with the stray cats and their growing families should this happen again.

You say that there are many strays in your neighborhood. Even so, you may not want your property to become a sanctuary for them. Contact your local animal control or animal shelter to get their support in humanely removing the stray cats from your property. Many will ensure that the cats go to a welcoming home.

For the health of the animals, do provide water for any stray kittens who make their way to your home.

Know that many people want cats. If you connect with the animal professionals who will rehome newborn kittens, you will be bringing safety and joy to many. For more ideas, visit catster.com/cat-behavior/what-to-do-with-a-stray-cat-that-wont-leave.
